Forget stoic Peyton Manning vs. brash Richard Sherman – the biggest Super Bowl story surrounds unprecedented security for Super Bowl XLVIII, where a projected 400,000 will invade New York/New Jersey for the first cold-weather venue Big Game in NFL history.

First Down Laser Systems, the in-stadium graphics designer that puts the first down line on the field in the stadium for all to see, is readying its demonstration models for trials with eager customers and the Sports Techie community blog is excited about this happening sooner than later.
